Faces

Gone, your words hanging there
Like lead in the air
From bells ringing out of time
As they fade into the memory of the winter night
I perceive their destination up and out of sight
Catching glimpses of a vista, but I'm stuck in the weeds
And I see it in the faces of the ones in my dreams
The ones in my dreams
Though I try and try
I need you, I see you, I need you
Though I try and try
I need you, I see you, I need you, I see you
The ones you love in the room
With you in the nude
And you've got no alibi
It's a look of desperation, it's a look of shame
And it means a million things and it means none just the same
Are you brewing something new or stewing on the same thing
Don't believe it when they say that only you're to blame
And you'll see it in the faces of the ones you love
And you'll see it in the faces of the ones you love
The ones you love
The ones you love
Though I try and try
I need you, I see you, I need you
Though I try and try
I need you, I see you, I need you, I see you
I need you, I see you, I need you, I see you

One Big Pill

I want to tell a story
I need your help to tell this story
We talk and shape it into form
It takes on life of its own
I need a place right now
I need a place to go right now
I need a place to come back down
And look around
Starts to remind me
It's nice to feel something real
Not used to feeling that kind of thrill
Hard to believe in something real
I'm going to need one big pill
I'm going to need one big pill
I'm going to need one big pill
It's nice to feel something real
It's nice to feel
Now every time I see you
Now nearly every time I see you
Now every time, there's something strange
The weight of time and change
I need a place right now
I need a place to go right now
I need a place to come back down
And look around
Starts to remind me
It's nice to feel something real
Not used to feeling that kind of thrill
Hard to believe in something real
I'm going to need one big pill
I'm going to need one big pill
I'm going to need one big pill
It's nice to feel something real
It's nice to feel
It's nice to feel
It's nice to feel

Southern Jews
04:06
|

I walk in and you look up from the page, and you're
Older now, but you haven't even aged
And I know I've seen that face before that your
Mother and all her great grandmothers wore in the
Warm lamplight of a European night
Before they thought that they were even white and I
Hear them sing "Eliyahu Hanavi"
I hate to say it but Elijah's kinda shitty
Yai dai dai dai dai dai dai
Four were born in the south to Polish Jews
Across the street, the country club refused them and
So they built plantations of their own
Look at 'em now with the Trump signs in their homes, and we
Drank four cups of Maneschewitz wine,
But of the questions, not one was Palestine, and we
Search for something to make us whole again
It's coming now, all we need is to begin
Yai dai dai dai dai dai dai

Floating
04:35
|

You walk, coffee in hand
It's another day
The glare in your heavy eyes
You're swimming in a haze
You see red and orange, and it
Looks and feels like home
What's been lost in what you've grown
A flicker in your bones
You're just floating
Floating
Master of the rest stop routine
You should take a break
But you're late, you've been packing for days
You're heading for that lake
Pull in late with headlights off and
Sneak around the house
Slip out of your clothes and into
Darkness 'neath the stars
You're just floating
Floating
I love you, yes I do
I love you

It Can't Be Here
03:09
|

I thought that we could find the things
That we wanted here,
That we wanted here
We sank into a life that seemed
Like a good idea,
Like a good idea
I thought that we could build the things
That we wanted here,
But it can't be here
It took my time, it took my soul,
And it got me here,
And it got me here
